Construction, redefined.
We design, finance, construct, equip, operate, and manage anything that can be built.

More Than A Construction Company

EllisDon is a world-leading construction and building services company that completes in excess of $4 billion worth of contracts annually, in every market sector and across the globe. Over the last 65 years, we’ve grown from being a general contractor to a multi-faceted company that can deliver any aspect of a project.

A Revolution In Thinking

We recognize that the construction industry is changing at a rapid pace and we continually strive to be at the forefront. It’s been our way of thinking since our inception.

Today, projects are getting larger and more complex; facilities are becoming “greener” and more technologically advanced. And because of this change, what happens before and after construction, now affects project outcomes just as much as what happens during construction. This is why we developed a full suite of construction and building services, to help our clients meet the growing demands of projects while minimizing their risk.

Cradle-to-Grave construction and building services

Our construction and total service offering lets us deliver projects in their entirety. We can lead projects all the way from the initial concept phase to long-term asset management, operations and maintenance.

By leveraging our core construction and building services capabilities throughout the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases of a project, we are able to provide solutions to clients that bring outstanding value, minimize risk, and guarantee success. We call these services “Cradle-to-Grave”.

Pre-Construction

The most difficult task is getting a project off the ground. To help, we offer everything from project financing, to development and design management, and providing constructibility and facilities management input into design. Above that, we also offer a service where we provide a guaranteed maximum price for design and construction before designs are even one-third complete. It’s all about risk elimination and setting up the project for success.

Construction

Construction is at our core. We're able to build anything from skyscrapers to subways, and from schools to hospitals. We have delivered projects under every type of contract model. Our construction experts utilize the latest technology and software to build your projects. For us, nothing is out of scope, and we're always up for a challenge.

Post-Construction

When other financiers, builders, and designers walk away, we’re getting started. We will tech-out your asset, furnish and equip it, we will manage, operate, maintain, and renew it.
